Portrait of Brian Sherman

A very successful businessman, Brian Sherman has served as the Australian Museum Trust president and Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation director. He is co-founder and managing director of the animal charity Voiceless. A few years ago, Brian was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I was taken aback by Brian’s presence and his strength whilst dealing with such a debilitating disease. He recently described his battle with the disease in a TV interview “… I am slowly disappearing… the Brian Sherman you all once knew will be no more.”
